By focusing on movement quality and overall strength, results are easy to achieve, this is a better option than focusing on the numbers on the scale. When you can focus on this things that that you can do, you will begin to appreciate your body for what it does over how it looks. Training for movement quality and strength also improves life outside of the gym by making everyday tasks easier. Easy to learn, the lifts are fun and challenging for all ages, youth as young as 7, and masters into their 70's.
Weightlifting is also a sport with competitions held at all levels, from small scale local meets to large scale national and international competitions. Lifting competitions are a great way to test skills in a challenging atmosphere. Lifting meets are also a fun way to meet new people and make like minded friends. Many of the same lifters will be at the same meets again and again.
